Introduction: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has been recently proved useful in the quantitation of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of the study was to assess prevalence of CKD according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Cockcroft-Gault, and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formulae in 412 patients with normal serum creatinine and markers of kidney function/injury such as NGAL, cystatin C, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in these patients in relation to age (below and over 65 years).

Material And Methods: We included in the study 1005 patients with coronary artery disease and normal serum creatinine.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important long-term complication of all forms of nonrenal organ transplantation. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of kidney dysfunction among heart (n = 163) and kidney allograft recipients (n = 169) using the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula, which includes age, gender, and comorbidities. The mean serum creatinine values in these populations were 1.
